Don't just take our word for it. Hear from some of the drivers and brands who have already partnered with Barwell Motorsport

“Driving with Barwell has given me some of my most enjoyable years in British GT. It’s a great, driven, friendly atmosphere and you feel at home the moment you walk in the garage. The guys are dedicated to what they do, and nothing is ever a problem. You know every time you get into the car that it’s prepared to the highest possible standards. Barwell are one of the best teams I have worked with, if not the best.”

Phil Keen, Professional Driver

"Barwell has been like a second family to me in the racing world. We have worked together in British GT and at the Spa 24H and I can honestly say that they are as good as any team I have worked with. They are thorough in their preparation, professional yet friendly at the track and the engineers really have an excellent grasp on the cars that they run. It’s clear in my mind that they are one of the top GT teams on the grid in both the UK and Europe."

Alexander Sims, BMW/Corvette Factory Driver

From my first visit to the team headquarters to standing on the podium at the 2016 Spa 24H, I've been hugely impressed with Barwell Motorsport. The team has a nice family atmosphere but with a strong drive and desire to win. The engineering was excellent, with good direction and well organised. From what I've seen and experienced, the team are regularly punching above their weight and should rightly be considered one of the best GT teams in Europe.

Oliver Gavin, Le Mans Legend

"Well, it’s easy to say that Mark Lemmer and his guys are one of the top GT teams in Europe, fully motivated and always on the target. But what really matters to me is that they helped me to grow up as a driver, especially out of the car, which is something you hardly find and something you never stop to learn. I really hope to have the opportunity to drive with them again in the future!"

Marco Mapelli, Lamborghini Factory Driver

"As an amateur driver with little GT experience, Barwell helped accelerate my own personal driver development. They have made me feel very comfortable, very relaxed in a very professional team that shares the same principles of ‘attention to detail’ and the ‘desire to win’.”

Jon Minshaw, Businessman, Multiple British GT Winner

"I worked with Barwell for four years 2013-2017 and they were great! They are professional, honest and have in incredible depth of knowledge. I have learnt so much from them and to a very high level. We had some fantastic results with Alexanders Sims & Olly Bryant and won the British GT Championship in 2014, this would not have been possible without the huge team effort and contributions by all. Mark Lemmer has such a wealth of experience, not only in driving but also in running a three-car team. He knows his stuff and, unlike many others, is straight-laced and honest with you. Great team, great ethics and great staff!”

Marco Attard, Businessman, British GT Champion

“Barwell are one of the most professional teams in the world of motorsport. It is always a privilege to drive the cars that they prepare. The team always prepare a fast, safe and reliable car that you know is always capable of taking you to that top step every time. It’s great to work with top people like Mark and Chris, who understand what it takes to win races and of course have fun along the way. I’m a firm believer that it's not always about your destination but the journey, and it's great to say that I have been a part of their journey as well as them being a part of mine!"

Tom Kimber-Smith, Three-Time Le Mans Class Winner

“When I raced in The Barcelona 24 Hours with Barwell, I was faced with a new event, new team-mates and new team all in one go. The guys at Barwell did a fantastic job of allowing us to hit the ground running. They’re a really professional group of racers that know how to make a team gel, whether that is with professional drivers or amateurs. They have fun but race hard at the same time.”

Bruno Senna, Ex-Formula 1 Driver, WEC Champion

“I had a great time with Barwell. We had a good weekend during the Barcelona 24 Hours taking pole position, fastest lap and finishing on the podium. The team works in a very professional way, which makes motorsport so much fun. They are all passionate about racing, competing and winning!”

“The decision to partner with Barwell Motorsport for the return of Ecurie Ecosse was not taken lightly, given the heritage of the team which we need to protect and the successes we wish to replicate. Ultimately it proved to be the right choice and we enjoyed an extremely fruitful relationship with the Barwell team. Barwell are fully committed, highly competent and extremely professional with an enviable track record for reliability. We would not hesitate in recommending Mark Lemmer and his team to anyone who wishes to compete in GT racing up to the highest level.”
